A mum blogging about family life and the hilarity of parenthood.

And now there are two: a poem

I’m not *really* blogging at the moment because, you know, I just had a baby. But I wrote this little poem and thought I’d share it here. We are absolutely smitten with our gorgeous new addition and life with 2 under 2 is definitely keeping us on our toes! Despite the exhaustion and non-stop nappy changing, I feel so lucky to be the mother of these two wonderful boys.

Feeling like one lucky mama, when JB was just a few days old.

Two.

Two babies I birthed
Two hearts that once beat inside me

A family of four, a badge
we wear with pride

“Our kids”, we say, delighting
in the plural.

Two beautiful beings
created in love

Two lots of nappies
Two mouths to feed

Two cries in the night
Two little bodies to cuddle

Two times the love
Two times the joy

Two million reasons to feel
like the luckiest souls alive

I adore these matching PJ’s my friends got them!
